If you are experiencing any of these symptoms , you should take a good look at your daily protein intake . Sometimes these unexplainable conditions come down to an easy fix — more protein in your diet .
Protein deficiency can be even more serious than you think . Long term or frequent protein deficiency can result in even more serious health risks , such as :
• gallstones .
• Arthritis .
• heart problems .
• organ failure .
• muscle deterioration .
• death
As you can see , a lack of protein in your diet can be very serious — even life threatening . If you take nothing else from this book , be absolutely certain that you are getting adequate amounts of protein every day . In the diet portion of The 3 Week Diet , you ’ ll learn how to calculate your true daily protein requirements .
On The 3 Week Diet , we attempt to emulate “ starvation ” and all the fat-burning qualities it produces — but without all the negative side effects ( hunger , lean body mass loss , etc .). To do this , we will focus on depleting the body of carbohydrates to trigger the starvation response . Again , this starvation response forces the body to switch over to burning incredible amounts of fat for our daily energy needs . Meanwhile , we will “ sneak ” adequate amounts of protein to the body every few hours . Instead of attacking our own lean body mass , the body will use this “ easy ” protein ( the protein we eat ) and turn it into glucose , which requires even more fuel ( body fat ) to accomplish . Basically , we are going to throw all kinds of things at the body to force it to burn more and more body fat , which will result in ultra-fast weight loss .
